Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber conduction rotor flow sensor. Background technique [0002] Sensor technology has always been a popular technology, among which flow sensors are widely used in industrial production, chemical industry, environmental monitoring, biochemical technology and scientific experiments. Among the traditional flowmeters, the glass rotameter is a common category. Although the flowmeter has a simple structure and is easy to use, it can only meet the needs of on-site instant measurement, and cannot realize the recording and automatic control of the flow. In some existing rotor-type flow sensors, the conversion of physical quantities is mostly carried out in the form of analog quantity conversion (such as differential transformers). ), it is difficult to resist external interference, internal drift, stability and reliability are difficult to meet the requirements of use. The reliability and stability of digital sampling se...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Patent 200620046512.2 discloses a fiber optic float flowmeter, which is equivalent to installing two photoelectric limit switches on the rotameter (installed at the upper and lower limits of the corresponding control flow), and the function is the same as that of conventional magnetic limit switches. The function of the switch is the same, it can only control the upper and lower limits of the flow rate (that is, output the control signal after the flow rate reaches the limit value), the problem it solves is as described in the technical background and the content of the invention, mainly to eliminate the magnetic field of the magnetic limit switch The influence of the influence and the problem of low limit accuracy, it cannot realize the continuous accurate measurement of the instantaneous flow rate and the remote automatic adjustment of the upper and lower limit positions (because it must be adjusted manually), and the optical signal controller is a one-to-one correspondence method , and its structure cannot be used in an array of a large number of sensitive elements (because a large number of solid-state lasers cannot be used as light sources, and one-to-one corresponding optical fibers are used as light sources, the output is very small and cannot meet the requirements of use)
